Hubtty

Hubtty is a console-based interface to the Github Code Review system.

As compared to the web interface, the main advantages are:

  • Workflow – the interface is designed to support a workflow similar to reading network news or mail. In particular, it is designed to deal with a large number of review requests across a large number of repositories.

  • Offline Use – Hubtty syncs information about pull requests in subscribed repositories to a local database and local git repos. All review operations are performed against that database and then synced back to Github.

  • Speed – user actions modify locally cached content and need not wait for server interaction.

  • Convenience – Hubtty downloads all pull requests to local git repos. Custom commands can be configured to bind keys to shell actions with context variable interpolation – open a PR in your browser, check it out with gh, or run any workflow you like.
